Dolphins Give Hope to Special-needs Kids
Dogs help with autistic children and so do dolphins!
Dolphin-assisted therapy could be great news for families who have children living with cerebral palsy, autism, brain damage, ADHD and Down syndrome. Therapy done in water with the aid of dolphins appears to produce dramatic positive results for children with these disabilities, according to research conducted by Dr. David Nathanson Ph. D.
He found that two weeks dolphin-assisted therapy was compared to the effectiveness of six month conventional physical and speech-language therapy!
